Beneath the City Lights [HIATUS]

Chapter 12

"Oh you're home!" bati ni Shianne sa pag-uwi

Inirapan ko siya habang tinatanggal ang sapatos ko, "Obviously"

Well, does she have to state the obvious? Kailangan talaga mag salita?

She only chuckled on my hostility and noticed something,

"Wait that jacket is familiar" banggit niya"

"Yeah, your boyfriend lend it to me" 

I'm still wearing Dion's jacket at hindi ko pa makalimutan kung paano kami nag-agawan sa jacket niya na'to

"I'm going home now" saad ko habang nakapila sa loob ng mall para sa taxi

"m-my jacket.." bulong niya

"What?"

"I said my jacket.." mas malakas na boses niya ngayon

"No, I'll keep it. It's cold" sabi ko at mas lalong isinuot ang jacket sa braso

"But It's mine"  pahabol niya

Aba! After niya ivolunteer ang jacket niya sa cinehan ay saka niya babawiin kung saan mas malamig!

Guys would even flock to lend me their jackets pero I always refuse because I don't like anyone's scent on me, tapos itong lalakeng to?

"Then find something to warm you up! I bought you enough hoodies and bomber jackets tapos you will need this ugly old jacket pa!" sigaw ako at pinagtuturo ang mga paperbag na bitbit niya sa kamay

"If it's ugly and old then why don't you just give it back to me? It's for me" pangangatwiran niya

I was taken a back with what he said. Oo nga naman, hindi ko gusto nagsususot ng damit ng iba kasi masyado akong maarte, lalo na when in terms of design, and smell.

But this jacket is surprisingly smells good, like an expensive cologne.

"T-to make sure you're not wearing baduy or jologs clothes anymore!" sabi ko at nag walk-out nako at sumakay sa taxi

Sumakay rin siya ng taxi para ihatid ako sa aming bahay, usapan namin ay iddrop-off niya lang ako sa tapat ng bahay 

"Also make it sure to use the clothes that I bought you, I didn't buy that for you to stock it in your closet, I don't want to see you use jologs clothes anymore kasi sumasakit mata ko"

He chuckled at my remarks and nodded, "Noted Ms. Cherry bomb"

That's what happened kaya ngayon akin na tong jacket na suot suot ko ngayon

"Boyfriend?" tanong ni Shianne

"Hindi mo ba boyfriend si Dion?" pagsusungit ko

Narinig ko naman na tumawa lang siya "So the two of you went to the mall together?" 

"Yeah, and I bought him some clothes" I lazily answered while scrolling my instagram 

"Huh? What for?" nagtatakang tanong niya

"Because he has no money to buy new ones so I bought newones so he won't use old jolg clothes anymore" wala sa sarili kong pag sagot habang nag iiscroll parin 

"I'm pretty sure he can one when he wants to.." bulong ni Shianne sa sarili na hindi ko naintindihan

"Ano?" pagpapaulit kaso umiling lang siya, 

Whatever I don't care anyway at kumuha ng tubig

"So the two of you had a date?" halos maluwa ko ang iniinom na tubig dahil sa tanong niya
